## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability whatchuneed-url-parse-utility-fa2f9784 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you parse this URL for me — https://example.com/products?id=42&ref=home#section2 — and pull out the hostname, path, and query parameters?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call URL parsing utility without standing up your own parsing logic, especially within an AI agent pipeline that already uses the whatchuneed x402 payment infrastructure for other utility calls.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or unparseable URL input returns an error status
- Missing required 'input' field causes a 400-level validation error
- Relative URLs without a protocol may fail to parse correctly
- Very long or unusual URL strings may produce unexpected results
